Previously appearing in separate publications, these stories of the Galaxy are now in a unitary publication. After the Galactic Empire crumbled, the Vegan Confederacy was too weak to survive, yet it prospered because of its secret weapon--telepathy. Not all of the Agents of Vega were human, but all were the most powerful telepaths in the Galaxy.

An earlier series of stories by James Schmitz, with a compilation of other tales that Baen's head compiler of old SF, Eric Flint has decided to include in this particular volume. Some of these are from the 50s (Vegan Agent stories, for example), and even one from the 40s.
There's an introduction by Mercedes Lackey, clearly a fan:
"So, thanks to James Schmitz, I became an author—first an under-the-bed author (who hid my notebooks full of illustrated stories under the bed where my brother wouldn't find them), then turning in my stories to high-school literary contests, then writing as a hobby in college—then writing fanfic and actually getting published (!!!)."
You can certainly see some of the more polished style of later work showing its face in some of these earlier stories.
More fun stuff, indeed.

A new operative for an alien telepathic race uses her favored status to call in a Zone Agent to help. Space Pirate leaders and bodysnatching aliens await.
Not to mention some action any Lensman would be happy to take a crack at.
